[cool][#0000ff]Thanks.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Yes, those bows are part of a large planting of 12" rainbows our DWR planted in Starvation last fall. The lake has not traditionally been a rainbow lake but has always had a good population of browns and some of them get big. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The bows are "triploids" so they eat and grow without worry about slowing down for reproduction. No spawning. Their only function is to provide a different "level" of fishing in the lake...along with the perch, bass and walleyes. They feed well on the abundant invertebrates in the lake and have a deep red flesh...great eating. And, like most rainbows, they are easy to catch, hit hard and fight well. They average 16" to 18" right now and are very healthy. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]They sure do add to the overall fishery and are often the only fish caught by some anglers...especially ice fishing. [/#0000ff]
